About this property
Resting on the outskirts of Caister-On-Sea, a coastal village in Norfolk is Drifters Cove, a well-positioned, two-bedroom dwelling. Just a short journey away from a range of local amenities, attractions, the beach, and The Broads National Park, the cottage welcomes four guests and two well-behaved dogs, perfect for a family seascape. Park up in one of two allocated spaces before entering the open-plan living space, where you can rustle up delicious meals, dine as a group, and relax in front of the Smart TV. Head outdoors to take advantage of the enclosed rear garden, featuring a decked area, patio, lawn, and outdoor furniture, where you can dine alfresco or simply watch by as your furry companions stretch their legs. Return indoors to complete your nightly routine in the bathroom, complete with both a bath and a shower, ahead of resting your eyes in either the double or twin rooms. Awaken to a fun-filled itinerary, starting off with a stroll along Caister-On-Sea Beach, leading you towards Great Yarmouth & Caister Golf Club, enjoying far-reaching costal views, and the Great Yarmouth Racecourse, perfect for visiting on race days. Before reaching the centre of Great Yarmouth, stop off at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens, a firm family favourite, ahead of strolling across the Britannia Pier, touring the Time and Tide Museum of Great Yarmouth Life, enjoying a day at the beach, or discovering SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth. Complete your getaway in Norwich, bustling with shops, eateries, lofty architecture, and cultural activities, recommended to explore Norwich Cathedral, enjoy a riverside picnic at Whitlingham Country Park, set alongside River Yare, or head to Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, showcasing a collection of local and fine art. Enjoy your next break by booking Drifters Cove.
Just north of Great Yarmouth on Norfolk's east coast is the seaside community of Caister-on-Sea. Famed as one of the oldest towns in the nation, Caister-on-Sea derives its name from the Anglo-Saxon term "ceaster," which means "Roman fort," in honour of the fort constructed in 200 CE as a base for Roman forces. Caister-on-Sea has a long history that dates back to Roman times. The lovely town now has kilometres of beautiful sandy beaches and is home to neighbourhood bars, stores, restaurants, and takeout that cater to tourists' needs. The Old Hall Hotel's spa provides a touch of luxury to any stay, and the Caister Castle Automobile Collection will satisfy car enthusiasts with its collection of over 200 veteran, vintage, and classic cars and bikes.

Where the car park was situated was a very short distance to the property which was helpful especially when we arrived. The property was very comfortable for us and our dog had fun running up and down the enclosed garden! The only drawback was the front door inside handle which was getting looser during our stay but overall we would recommend Drifters Cove
